U[sic]GA students audition for roles in Numbchucks's so-called "idiot" films. The movie star hopefuls show off their talents for stupidity.

With the recent success of shallow and often times quirky comedy movies such as Jackass and Borat, producers are now scrambling head over heels to reel in as many potential actors for the genre as possible.

Many students at U[sic]GA are finding out they indeed possess this "hidden talent" that these producers have been looking for.

"I don't know if I would be where I was today if it weren't for U[sic]GA. There's so much raw talent here that is just waiting to be tapped. These guys are born naturals; it would be a shame to let all this talent go to waste," said Joe Numbchucks, a self-made producer of what he calls "idiot" films.

Numbchucks is just one of the many movie-making-mongers in the process of hiring U[sic]GA student actors.

This revolutionizing movement was just the thing U[sic]GA needed to let its students realize their full potential.

"I was goin' tuh study aboard in Texas, cus you know, studyin' in other countries is cool like dat, but when I found out I cood be an actor, I became one. Gotta take duh winder of oppornudity when it comes," said Tex Hess, an eighth-year Undecided major.

"All me epidemic visor toad me wus ta get BS in some major I cun't renumber. It's a shame dat people dese days jus cuss in yer face all da time. But not Numchucks. He gave me uh job," said Boomer Nutcracker, a seventh-year Kindergarten math major.

"Yeah, Numbchucks was like, you wanna act? And I was like, yer serious? And he was like, yeah, totally! And I was like, oh my gosh!" gushed Love McQueen, a first-year Beauty major.

Naturally, with such a sudden spurt of students finally realizing their hidden talents waiting to be discovered, several people have begun to question whether or not this awakening is really good for U[sic]GA.

"I'm just afraid that the quality U[sic]GA is known for will go down because of this. Seriously, we've got a reputation to keep. Not every college is honored enough to be called one of the biggest party schools in America," said Dobby Dawg, a fourth-year Party major.

Numbchucks made his rebuttal to this comment at a U[sic]GA conference last week.

"There are too many idiots here who can't find a job. It's the least I can do for you morons," Numbchucks said. "Before, all you kids were doing was partying and acting stupid. Well, you still party and act stupid, but now at least you get paid for it. It's the American dream. I believe that every U[sic]GA student has the right to stupidity, alcohol and public humiliation for movie-making profit," Numbchucks said.

This masterful oratory was greeted by howls, yips and barks of approval from all the students attending the conference.
